Don’t try to be approved by everybody, you can’t please the whole world. Be the first one to start a conversation at the first day of school, people don’t bite and if they do, shrug and turn around. Give yourself enough time to think before opening your mouth. Don’t cry for any boy or girl, there are many fish in the world and besides, crying causes wrinkles. Wash your face before going to bed, your future skin and your pillow will thank you. Consider yourself lucky of the many things you were born with, some people would kill for them and you’re living you life complaining about not having brand clothes. Talking about brands, don’t get obsessed on them, you’ll later learn that a good outfit can be put together with any budget.

Leave parties at a decent time, and never drink because you feel obligated. Nothing out of proportion is fun. There’s nothing more important than true friendship and there’s not a single thing a friend can’t forgive. And above all, never let someone to tell you what you can or can’t do in life, because constant work is the only way to see your dreams coming true and it’s a pretty long process that movies don’t show. Be brave and cry only when you have made it. Oh, and CardCaptor Sakura will remain your favorite heroine and a sequel will be made 20 years later.

On a personal and honest note, I invite you all to write a letter to your yourger self and realising things aren’t impossible ’cause, as impatient millennials as we are, sometimes we don’t realise good things require time and hard work.

Thank you for sharing this amazing post with us. I think we all should write a letter to our younger self and take a stock of things we have achieved and yet to achieve, This post is really inspiring. A lot of people will get a perspective on their life after reading this letter. Looking forward to read more inspiring posts in the future.

Very clever text. I also think that we are too overwhelmed by the opinion of others and thus bypasses us many chances. We are afraid to risk fear what others will say. Positive selfishness is good. First let’s start with your dreams because no one will take care of us. I keep my fingers crossed for the implementation of your innermost ideas.

That’s such a nice letter. When you mentioned millennials, I remembered one of the best interviews I have ever watched with Simon Sinek where he discusses our impatience and our need for instant gratification. Sometimes it’s frustrating when you think that other people are “doing more” than you just because they found themselves in more favorable circumstances, but at those moments it’s important to remember that good things in life don’t come instantly. They might be easier for others to achieve, but that doesn’t make us a failure. Life is not a destination, it’s a journey.
